Story on which to hang comments of various depths of reply.

Intended to see behavior of highly nested comments on a small display (e.g. mobile phone). Currently, comments can nest to a depth of [at least] 8, with each reply to a comment indented from its parent. At small fonts sizes, this can be accommodated on a small display.

Hypothesis: with a 'larger' font, nested replies would no longer 'fit' on the display.

UPDATE: Maximum depth of nesting for comment replies is set by the site var:

max_depth (max depth for nesting of comments)

On prod, its value was set to 10; on dev, it was set to 7. About 25 minutes ago, I change dev to match prod so both are now set to 10.

      The 'open all comments in thread' button only opens the first 3 levels.
